The meeting came hours after the International Air Transport Association sent a letter to U.S. Homeland Security Chief John Kelly and EU Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc , making the case for alternatives to requiring passengers to check their laptops and many other electronic devices as part of their luggage.

Police believe Abedi was in possession of this case in the days before the attack at Manchester Arena on Monday 22 May.
